By order of the Democratic State Central Committee. O. F. Bkatik, Chairman. Oregon City, Feb. 3J, st mitiKOSKiun A meeting of the Liun County Den ooratic Central Committes is hereby called at the Democrat office in Albany, on Wednesday, March 8th, 1 ;30 o'clock t. v., for the purpose of issuing a call for County and Precinct Conventions, and for transaction of such other busi ness as may properly come before it. J. II BuKKliA&T, Chairman. Ma hunk's fellows in Virginia aro at loggerheads already. When repudia tioaists fall out, there is encouragement or honesty to lift up its head sgnin. The initial cumber of the Denton Lmim arrived taia week. It is pub lished at Corvallk by Hyde & Mans field and will le Democratic in politic? . The Democrats of that locality have long felt the want of an organ and now they should rally to tUe support of the Leader. Villa rd stated a short time ago in t'le East that there was not over three f jet of water on the Yaquina bar, but a c irraspondent in the New York World promptly nailed the lie by quoting an item from Villard'e mouthpiece the Orejonian in relation to the recent trip of the YaquLna. v iys the Admioistratisn organ at Washington. We are glad to ace that you at last admit it The II 'publican party has been a treasonable organiza tion for a long time. In 1876 its treasonable nature was manifested in the nullification of an election and the stealing of the Presidency. Ex Senator Saruent, of California, Las failed to get the ooaition of Secre tary of the Interior, but has lean given the German mission. Thin adds snother to the Hat of stalwart leaders provided for by our stalwart President. Dy the time of the next presidential elec tion there will not be a aingle half breed in office in all our bread hnd. The O. k, C. R. K. is now to be puahed forward rapidly to Redding, Cal. It may bs news to some of our readers to hear that the money for building this road from KosebUrg te the State line lGo miles was once paid in, but Holladay, with the help ol persons now in high positions in oar State, got away with it. Why no in dictments were made by our grand juries is a mystery. By the Apportionment Din, as it pass ed the II ouse, New Eagland loses three Representatives. There will probably be an effort in the Senate to save them by amending the bill. Miuy people will be sorry to see the representation of that section reduced. It looka almost mean for the young and vigorous States that have grown up of late years to, make the oi l founders of the Union fall to the ear. The office of State Treasurer is a "fat take," and among tha Republicans there is a grand scrabble after the nom ination. CA. Thos. Monteitb, of Al bany, is gaining ground fast and stands a good show providing his opponents do not put up a job on him. Within the last two weeks an opposition to him has developed hers in Linn, on account of W. R. Kirk aspiring to the same pcti tion. Ed Hirsch has put up a nice little job on his rival in this county for the nomination for State Treasurer. Every one supposes that Earhart and Hirscb have "pooled their issues," and during the past two weeks they have ascertain ed that Col. Thos. Monteith was devel oping too much strength to suit them. Some means must be taken to weaken him, and so wa find Riley Kirk, of Brownsville, E irhart's brother-in-law, putting in his oar for State Treasurer. This, ef course is intended to divide the Linn county delegation in the State Convention, and is a real nice little job. Any political dodge that the Salem ring cannot think of is not worth taking. snotiorouroRiTioNH wintiiri orn. UKUUIIUIH7 This is a vary plain question, and we unhesitatingly say they sbeuld wot. That they aro at variance is not a de puted question. What is the cause tf this unnatural relation between corpo rations and ths people, stronger in some esses than in others The pewplo for wise ends create corporations, or provide rules of cotduct at their birth that shall govern them. Dot no soon er than they come into existence they aim to cripple the power that created them. To do this every means is Med. Tho Court and press are courted, und, too often. purchased. Thus it If that the rights of the people are outraged and to such an extent that the severest tmth ods of tevonge aro provoked, lleaco the existence of the anti moueoly feel ing. The people are educated usually te look on the piess of tho country as being honest in all things ; that it w3l stand by the people and adrocalo their rights. But when it is found that this is all a sham, and many leading presses of the country, pretending to favor the people, but in realitj condemning them, are enemies of tho producer and wage class, it is time that something should be done to correct this error. Corju t ute money is an arrant coward, and its cowardice makes it corrupt. Fearing tho (toople, lest they keep corporations honest in dealing, the lending ress through which the wunts and tights of the people should be made knoau, is too often captured in the interest of cuonoy power. Instead ef going to the people direct and dealing with them frankly und fairly, the press and Judges sro boldly captured as far as possible to further the ends of these amenta ot oppression. Every dollar that is paid to stained ermine, or the guilty knight of the quill, or the profession.il hand, conies out of the pockets of the victims by the most bere fac-d and direct meth ods. Firs: control the courts if possible, is the motto, then tho leading press. Tho latter d . a double duty. It ! fends the court and corjoratin and rid icules tho rights of the people. We make these remarks as a warning to all courts against temptation, but not as a charje against out State courts. We do not want tube misundet stood. We or.ly desire to talk aa our honist yeo men talk - -the producer, aud wag--cJrK on this subject. We have in Oregon a newspaper claiming to be under obli gations U no Klitical patty, though it is Republican in body, if it is nothing in principle. It claims a larger support from the j)eop'.e than any other paper and fights for this support. It is owned by corporal power, ll rl runts the fiflhy evidences tf its crime daily before an incorruptible reading com munity. It feels be.ute in ita unblush ing jerjdy .thinking the people are quicr. cent In receiving this betraval of trust as the editor stealthily pockets the earn ings of his sin. The public havo nnoth er press, and the paper is taken by a! most every farmer, aud taken because its only claim to favor lays i. its pre tended devotion to tne intercbta of the producers and wage class egatoet inon ted power. This irew4 is no occd by corporate power. The oor ruisera ble editor goes about like the devil's spology for deat'u, claiming that the right to take money fur any purjf-ae is paramount to the success of any dctei adnata principle fot the benefit of man kind. Sold in both cases for pottaz and every reader knows the price o it. If there is a Judge who has in his pocket money thus extorted ft MB the hard earnings of the people corjorate purchase money no matter by what disguise he got it, our picture for the present is compute. We call on the people to look into this mutter ftom their own stand point. Every dollar that corporations pay to subsidize these men, whom live and act on a principle net a whit above that of a pet y larceny thief, is wrested from the hard earn ings of our farmers and wage clas. We want our people to teach corporations that while they may oppress the people, they shall not pay the villians who aid and abet them, whether on the bench, ia the editor's chair, or starving at pro f hional ttickery. Mr. Ben Holladay came into Oregon with the belief that his success depended on his ability to run courts, editors aud Legislatures. He secured the services of a few Bohemians to do his Work, and well they did it for themselves. There was one editor (not now a resident of this state) and some of his train in sub ordinate positions who are excepted from '.his statement. All others were a corse to him and a disgrace to Oregon Holladay squandered no leas than half a million of dollars on thenc men in newpaper and other schemes. Crimes of tho worst character were perpetrated under this band of plunderers. We can date our first election frauds to these men, when bribery was an open thing. Who paid for all this? Tho bond holders and the people. This system Was inaugurated to cheat the people in everything connected with Railroads To obtain power that would enable Holladay to carry his points was all that could be done, and all that was intended. Holladay would have been better off without these men. Had he come into the state isolated from all schemes, paid strict- attention to busi ness, kept out of politics, and trusted the people, he could have been not only a resident of Oregon now, but would be under a full tide of prosperity. He could have succeeded to political prefer ment. His tarifi' of rates could have boon such an the p9oplo would have ac- . , , , .. . , . cnjui'u miu at) count nave nccomu uio greatest man in our state. 1 1 in sad ex perience should bo a warning to other! who aro following in his footsteps. TJie poople demand that purchased editors and Judges shall bo diapensod with. These ulcer on the body imlilio shall be removed. And criminals in high placo shall no longer overido the dfl mauds of the public for fair dealing The press purchased by corporations is usually tho high moral orgines in the oommuuity. They draw the lire of in dignation from thrmaelvea on to some uafortutmtca with a holy hoi nr. They keep tho reader in a happy stato of ig aoranco as to what is going on in refer ence to the condition of labor and capi tal. The inside wwrkiugsvf the gigan tie bodies that control our commerce and exact the life's blood from men, womou aud children, are studiously kept from theso victims by this vend prcsa. This subsidized ptusa and thaSMt mu.lod courts aro to out couutry what the EsV glish courts and prM are to indatid. The time is at hand when this aystatn of extortion should he crushed out. We mnsi havo an houesl press-. Tho edi tor who will sell htinsilf to outragn the ights of the people or to deceive and embarrass thuni is a criminal in the sight ef both Cod and man. a .m . sj . . A I.OBIfll!. M M.ll. At the present time a strong effort is being made in Congress to secure an appropriation sufficient to remove the bir at the t ntr .n.e to Yaquina Kay. Of csurse this i meeting with Cleat oppo '.tion from Vtliard and his lackeys, as t'icy do not want tho Willamette Valley t) have any outlet for her com uteres except thro.igli Portland, Every in fluence that it is poaaiblfl to control is brought to baa en Cjawooa to pro vat t'to appropriation f. ,;m being made. The latest MOVe of this kind which has been Made out here in i tatg Mi apja-ared in the aat Sttniuy ( hrjnwin. It was a very t ieiona attack on the ISay aud Upon the OftfM Pacii? lUilruad, which road has its west-rn terminus at that p !!', aud '.v.n evi h ulU intended to be n ad in tho Eist instead ef this State. The principal postal ma io in the article is that whea lhi blo.uur TmptimM nali her ftrat trip around to the Bay, bar Captain wotUd ao oreai the bar for fear of wteckittg his v ease I. Now rile ft well known del that aevt r al roaaets drawing no lens water than the riowHuta havo gone la there a, the same stage of the tide, and one made the entrance during a severe storm af ter she ha I bean eaeiplefely dismantled. It is the opinion all who s-.w the )' fKMb off the bar on bofO tiiat trip that he could have eutnel wi.hout aai difficulty std they were completely sur prised to re i her go away and not mak a trial of it. We will not ptesuin to give tho true rent ui by Capt. Denny it-turned to Astoria wi'hottt entering the Bay, but we think it probable that a man who can secure the cooperation of tho (Jxejonian in his battle with the citizens of thj Wilhuneits Valley, eau also, and no doubt in the same manner, bring to his assistsncd at least oris sea captain. The Orfjor.inn't article was written nimp!y to be used by its mas ter before ongresn to prevent an appro priation for tho liay. The 0trj0nnA charge that the man agers of the Oregon Pacific Kiilroad had ' floated their hoods upon Wal' street ujwn the statement that Va quina's bar had an averago dapth of feet at low tide." is as false as the rap rcscntation made itt uw York a few weeks sgo by the Oteonh master, Viliard, that Vflfjuiua bar only had 3 feet of water on it at low tide. The managers of the . P. It. EL make no statements thrt cannot be proven by the U. SL Coast surveys. Of course, there is not sufficient water 'uu the bar at present to catry ovei in safety even average size vessels ; if there ws there would bo no need of asking raon. ey from Congress to improve it. Friends of Yaquinu do claim that on lyja nat row rock bar MparatOJ the bay and the ocean, and that there is 30 feet of water on each sido of it. All they want is for Congress to make an appropriation to remove this. The ruilroad will take caro of itself, whether it pays or not, it will make no difference to the OxqpotUMn. Ik Yaquinia Day does not amount to anything, and the Oregon Pacific Rail road is a myth, why is it that Viliard spends so much money in lighting friends of the Bay at Washington Why is it that his organ in this State niekes such unreliable and fabo state monis in relation to the Bay and the Oregon Paotfic lUilroad ? Why is it that the Yaquina did not enter tho Bay when reseels of greater draft enter it without difficulty ac the same stage rf the tide and during just as stormy weather. Why is it that what is now the Viliard ring made such strenuou8 exertions to break the title to the land grant owued by the managers ef the O. P. R. R 1 Why is it that the Oceanian upheld and even championed them ia their unlawful schemes, and afterwards raised its voice in favor of the gigantic land steal now being attempted by the North Paci6c Railroad Co 1 Next Wednenday our Democratic County Central Committee will meet fer the purpose pf issueing a call for conventions. It is to be hoped that all members will be present, as matters of great importance will bo submitted for their consideration. The members are John H. Burkhart, J. J. Whitney C. B. Montague, Tho. M.

Now as to what 1 would do in is, '.rut let mo say that I have nover ben whst is called a strong patty man, but lo claim to be honest even politically : not to be erfect by any means, but to have ordinary common sense and per ception, and to be independent. Nevet mere so tht nt present. In 1880 1 was elecleJ to n lojal office, which 1 surren dered in favor of a worthy msu, he being a staunch Democrat, petitioning bis apKintracnt thereto, and have re peatedly voted for Democrats at ths general elections. Can you or your friends say as much : and is not the contrary yeur boast I At that very election I heard a prominent Democrat after asking a Republican to rote for hia man being told be might return the favor, aay he would vomit if hn did it. A in ui is gnurrally respected a little mote at last, when he demands hon esty, nad liberality of his neighbors, if he leads a little in the same direction himself. Aud thu sneers aud flings which Temperance workers in this placo havo received from certain quarters for tho last two years are not calculated So wiu the political good will and support of those Republicans which Y. piity re fers te, should similar cases require it. Indeed a suspicion might prevail that "office is befere life long Tctniierauce principles. The remark that no goesl can come of this movoment is unjust to the many good Democrats who 1 know are as sincere :a any others in this work, and will not apply to the coming campaign as well as it might years ago. And my friond will be safer 1 think with thu progress in his party, than with the fossils ; for the time seems to be near if not already at hand, when "this movement" will enter into our politics, and "games" and "jobs" will beattempt ed there as elsewhere. For my part I am ready to stand by my friends in this causa, oven if we should differ in other matters. And will repeat what I said to Bro. Hackleman, that I know ef ne hotter cause on which we all can unite. But if party glory, (Jack O'lantern if you will) is to bs considered first, the sooner we know it the bettor. Even if it takes a "public discussion" to find it out let us bear in mind that our eause is not in any one man, to bs gained or lest with him.

Thcro Is 8upport hero for -.till 'another god country tore. O. H. awRur noiiKLKTTKn. Swkut BqMB, Keb -oth, 1882 Editor Democrat. I wish to corroet somn statements made in a letter from hero which ap peared in tho Dtmovat about two weoks ago. The ohurch did not try Otto Lubker at all. A charge was preferred against him on account ota personal mutter between hitn and Elder Norton, and at tha requoat of the latter it was withdrawn. A charge of profanity was also brought against him, but as ha could not have been proven guilty excopt by tho use of outsido testimony, and as there was aomo doubt whether it could ho secured in time, this charge was alio withdrawn along with tho other. In regard to Mr. B. C. Russell I will say that ho presented Hie church rec ord to Elder Norton in my presence and ashed to have his name taken off. Elder Norton told him tho church would have to do it. It rested there, as Mr. B. never presented tho mat-, ter to the church. Tho reason that the three persons wero dismissed was that we believed they were trying to destroy the chnrch. One was circulating Seventh Day Adventist books and tracts, another was talking ngainst the church, and tho other said In meet ing that he believed in the "ago to come doctrine" and intended to pro mulgate it. As they had desired to leave the church, we let them go in peace, and no charges were prefer red except against Lubker. Mr. PeVener, tho writer of thp letter In tho Dcm(h:bav to Which I have roferrod, claims thcrt; wae n eriotts misttikn in it; that it did not rend oa h hnd ttttonovd. Can you ex plain It?
